Innocence 39

I had used so much force that his expression froze. He could clearly feel my trembling fingertips and was shocked.

His palms were also sweating, and his knuckles had turned white.

I hesitated again and again before suddenly staring at him. I mustered up my courage and begged, "Brother… let's be together always, okay?"

His expression froze, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. His eyes met mine for a brief moment before he quickly looked away. He lowered his head and didn't say a word.

His silence was like a thorn that pierced my heart. I felt a little suffocated. "Brother… I hate it when you're with other girls… I've imagined you dating other girls, hugging, dating, kissing… I can't accept it. It's like the end of the world! We'll be together forever, and no one will leave. Just like we promised when we were young, can we be together?! A hundred years, we'll be together forever!"

My tone conveyed a humble plea, both frantic and helpless.
